Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a first structure of a drive circuit provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1 , the drive circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure comprises a first transistor T1, an inductor L, a first diode D1, a first capacitor C1, and a discharger module 101. Agate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to a first control terminal M1; a drain of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to a first voltage terminal A; a source of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to a first node d. A first end of the inductor L is electrically connected to the first node d, and a second end of the inductor L is electrically connected to a second voltage terminal B. A positive end of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to a grounding terminal GND, and a negative end of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the first node d. A first end of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second voltage terminal B, and a second end of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the grounding terminal GND. The discharging circuit module 101 is electrically connected to the first node d and the grounding terminal GND. The discharging circuit module 101 functions to serve as a discharging circuit for discharging the first capacitor C1.

In the circuit, the first voltage terminal A serves as a voltage input terminal, and the second voltage terminal B serves as a voltage output terminal. In the display panel industry, for a known power management integrated chip, a drive circuit often adopts asynchronous rectification architecture. The drive circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure adopts an asynchronous rectification architecture, making an input voltage of the first voltage terminal A smaller than an output voltage of the second voltage terminal B. The input voltage received in the first voltage terminal A transmits through the first transistor T1, the inductor L, and the first diode D1 to complete a voltage step-down operation so as to generate the output voltage at the second voltage terminal B.

It is noted that if the drive circuit 10 does not include the discharging circuit module 101, a signal at the first node d would become unstable. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 , FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a second structure of a drive circuit provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a signal waveform of the drive circuit shown in FIG. 2 in a light-loading condition. Specifically, with reference to both FIGS. 2 and 3 , the drive circuit 20 includes a first time interval t10, a second time interval t20, a third time interval t30, and a fourth time interval t40.

In the circuit, in the first time interval t10, the first transistor T1 is conducted on and the first voltage terminal A charges toward the inductor L, setting an inductor current IL in a forward direction; at the moment, the inductor current IL flows from the first transistor T1 to the inductor. In the second time interval t20, the first transistor T1 is cut off and the inductor current IL discharges in the forward direction to charge the first capacitor C1. In the third time interval t30, the first transistor T1 is cut off and discharging by the inductor current IL is ended and zeroed. Since there is no discharging circuit module 101 provided, the first capacitor C1 has no path to discharge and parasitic components on the lines start to charge and discharge, parasitic inductors discharging to parasitic capacitors and parasitic capacitor discharging to parasitic inductors, so that a signal at the first node d generates an LC oscillation, leading to one or more rounds of conducting of the first transistor T1 that are supposed to occur during the period become skipped due to excessive residual energy and thus causing signal instability and insufficiency of driving power. In the fourth time interval t40, the first transistor T1 is cut off and the energy of the parasitic components zero, so that there is no electric current flowing in the inductor L, and at the moment, the potential of the first node d corresponds to the potential of the second voltage terminal B.

Further, referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a signal waveform of the drive circuit shown in FIG. 1 in a light-loading condition. Specifically, reference being also had to FIG. 1 , as shown in FIG. 4 , the drive circuit 10 includes a first drive time interval t1, a second drive time interval t2, a third drive time interval t3, and a fourth drive time interval t4.

In the circuit, in the first drive time interval t1, the first transistor T1 is conducted on and the first voltage terminal A discharges toward the inductor L, setting an inductor current IL in a forward direction; at the moment, the inductor current IL flows from the first transistor T1 to the inductor L. In the second drive time interval t2, the first transistor T1 is cut off and the inductor current IL discharges in the forward direction to charge the first capacitor C1. In the third drive time interval t3, the first transistor T1 is cut off and charging by the inductor current IL is ended and zeroed. Due to the presence of the discharging circuit module 101, the first capacitor C1 is now allowed to charge the inductor L by way of the discharging circuit module 101 and thus, the first capacitor C1 is discharged. In the fourth drive time interval t4, the first transistor T1 is conducted on and the voltage received in the first voltage terminal A charges the inductor L.

The drive circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure provides a discharging circuit, by means of the discharging circuit module 101, to enable discharging of the first capacitor C1, so that a reversed discharging path is formed for the drive circuit 10 in a light-loading mode to maintain a fixed operation frequency and amplitude, thereby enhancing the signal stability.

Referring to FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of a drive circuit provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. Reference being also had to FIG. 1 , as shown in FIG. 5 , the discharger module 101 comprises a second transistor T2. A gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to a second control terminal M2; a drain of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first node d; and a source of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the grounding terminal GND.

In the circuit, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are driven in a complementary manner with the same frequency to ensure that when the first transistor T1 is conducted on, the second transistor T2 is cut off; and when the first transistor T1 is cut off, the second transistor T2 is conducted on. In some embodiments, the first transistor T1 is one of an N-type transistor and a P-type transistor, while the second transistor T2 is another one of the N-type transistor and the P-type transistor.

In the circuit, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both arranged inside a power management integrated chip. In some embodiments, the inductor L, the first diode D1, and the first capacitor C1 are arranged outside the power management integrated chip. Of course, in some other embodiments, the inductor L, the first diode D1, and the first capacitor C1 may be included in the power management integrated chip.

Specifically, reference being had to both FIGS. 4 and 5 , in the first drive time interval t1, the first transistor T1 is conducted on and the second transistor T2 is cut off, and the first voltage terminal A charges the inductor L, setting an inductor current IL in a forward direction; at the moment, the inductor current IL flows from the first transistor T1 to the inductor L. In the second drive time interval t2, the first transistor T1 is cut off and the second transistor T2 is conducted on, and the inductor current IL discharges in the forward direction to charge the first capacitor C1. In the third drive time interval t3, the first transistor T1 is cut off and the second transistor T2 is conducted on, charging by the inductor current IL is ended and zeroed. Due to the presence of the discharging circuit module 101, the first capacitor C1 is allowed to charge the inductor L by way of the discharging circuit module 101, and thus, the first capacitor C1 is discharged. In the fourth drive time interval t4, the first transistor T1 is conducted on and the second transistor T2 is cut off, and the voltage received in the first voltage terminal A charges the inductor L.

The drive circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure provides a discharging circuit, by means of the second transistor T2, to enable discharging of the first capacitor C1, so that a reversed discharging path is formed for the drive circuit 10 in a light-loading mode to maintain a fixed operation frequency and amplitude, thereby enhancing the signal stability.

It is understood that the embodiment of the disclosure utilizes the signal of the first node d of the drive circuit 10 shown in FIG. 1 to serve as a drive voltage of the charge pump output module 102 for the generation of the predetermined voltage. Further, since the signal of the first node d is kept stable, using the signal of the first node d at the moment to serve as the drive voltage of the charge pump output module 102 does not result in insufficiency of output voltage and does not affect the effect of displaying, and thus, the stability of the predetermined voltage output from the charge pump output module 102 is ensured.

The drive circuit 30 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure provides a discharging circuit, by means of the discharging circuit module 101, to enable discharging of the first capacitor C1, so that a reversed discharging path is formed for the drive circuit 30 in a light-loading mode to maintain a fixed operation frequency and amplitude, thereby enhancing the signal stability; further, the drive circuit 30 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure is also operable to utilize the signal of the first node d as the drive voltage of the charge pump output module 102 for generation of the predetermined voltage. Since the signal of the first node d is stable, using the signal of the first node d of the moment to serve as the drive voltage of the charge pump output module 102 does not result in insufficiency of output voltage and does not affect the effect of displaying, and thus, the stability of the predetermined voltage output from the charge pump output module 102 is ensured.

Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is another circuit diagram of a drive circuit provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. Reference being also had to FIG. 6 , as shown in FIG. 7 , the charge pump output module 102 comprises a second capacitor C2, a second diode D2, a third diode D3, and a third capacitor C3.
